THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE -To Plead for a Return of Constitutional Government-
Vol. II FORT WORTH, TEXAS, APRIL, 1960 No.4
Members Of Congress Hit Record
Low In Legislative Performance
MR. PAUL BUTLER WHISTLES FOR ELEANOR
ROOSEVELT AND SICS HER ON THE SOUTH
In recent years practically all left-wingers and other political dere~
Ucts of the North and East have heaped vituperation and abuse on the
South but it has remained for Paul Butler, Fair Deal straw boss, to offer
the supreme insult to this beleaguered section of the American Republic.
Butler, admitted by even his close associates to be the champion
fat-head of his party is reported in the press to have appointed a commit~
tee to anticipate the proceedings at the Fair Deal convention at Los
Angeles next July and prepare in advance a Civil Rights plank to be sub·
mitted by the Platform ComtTiittee as the recommendations of that group
tor adoption by the delegates.
To head this committee Butler has chosen Eleanor Roosevelt and
among those who will aid her in her "serious deliberations" on the sub~
ject Is a slew of hand·picked Negroes.
Now, all reports of sectional antagonism to the co~trary, the citi·
zens of the South have nothing against Eleanor Roosevelt per se. Some
ot them even admire h~r on those extremely rare occasions when they
catch her with her mouth closed.
What Southerners despise and hold in contempt are her evil and
degenerate social views which she is turning heaven and earth to inflict
on them before she shuffles off this mortal soil.
The people of the South have never attacked her except in defense
ot their honor and in rebuttal against her bitter denunciation of them as
cruel, inhuman and ignorant peons who are utterly without feeling or
compassion for members of the colored race.
They realize that it takes all kinds of people to make a world and
they would be the last to wish to muzzle this well-meaning but befuddled
lady whose verbal output far exceeds her cerebral capacity for produc~
tion and who gaily ignores the basic tenet that excessive wordage does
not necessarily spell wisdom but rather is comparable to escaping gas
fumes from a rusty exhaust pipe.
Also, we feel sure that the people of the South will not hold Mrs.
Roosevelt entirely to blame for this latest slap in the face of Dixie know~
fng, as they do, of her utter inability to refuse any invitation which af~
fords an opportunity for her to emphasize her repulsive racial views or to
serve the cause in any capacity where the ex_ertion is all on the tongue
and no strain is imposed on that section of the anatomy lying above
the eyebrows.
They will, instead, hold Mr. Paul Butler responsible for this newest
Indignity since he is the gent who instigated this little gimmick to kick
out Southern Democrats, thereby eliminating the last vestige of decency
and removing the final bar against total Marxism in the Roosevelt­spawned
party of the New and Fair Deal.
In casting about for some one to do the dirty work, it was inevitable
that Butler should enlist the support of this confused and addled lady
whose chief contribution to contemporary history has been to add
"Freedom of the Jaws" to the other four which her late husband im­mortalized.
Don't listen to enemies of this Republic' who sneer at nationalism
and who regard patriotism as an outmoded relic of the dark ages. Re~
member that loyalty to country, love of home and family, and reverence
for God are the noblest impulses of the human heart. It is these attri­butes
which reflect the divinity in man and distinguish him from the
beast in the jungle.
For almost two months members of the United States
Senate laid aside the legitimate business on their
agenda and concentrated on one measure with the
sole objective of capturing the Negro vote for their
respective parties In the presidential election this Fall.
By centering their collective strength on this class legis·
lotion to the exclusion of relevant matters of State, they
have so debased and down-graded the legislative func•
tion as to create serious doubt In the minds of fearful
Americans that this country is any longer capable of
self-government, Their dogged determination and mule·
headed obstinacy in trying to brutally force a Civil
Rights bill down the throats of law-abiding citixens of
the South against whom their venom Is directed, is the
clearest cut victory for the Kremlin since MacArthur was
ordered to turn back at the Yalu River. The vicious
charges hurled at Dixie by the hate-glutted sponsors of
this infamous measure are far more provocative than
the incidents which led the great John C. Calhoun to pro·
pose that the South secede from the Union.
By the time this appears in print a new so-called Civil Right bill
may have been passed by the Congress or it may still be in the pro·
cess of being batted back and forth between the House and Senate
by the insufferable demagogues sponsoring this nefarious legislation.
They are not even remotely interested in any "right" of the Negro
but are merely concerned in gaining his vote.
No matter what version of this obnoxious measure is passed, or
whether any legislation on the subject is adopted at all, the official be·
havior of elected representatives of the people in the matter constitutes
legislative license without sanction in any Charter under which respect·
able and orderly governments have operated since the beginning of time.
By practically stopping the machinery of State while debating legis·
lation favoring one class of citizens over another, they have set up a
chain reaction which is now reverberating in colored nations all over
the world, bringing violence, death and bloodshed in its wake and setting
peaceful race relations back almost one hundred years.
By arrogantly overriding the Constitution and defiantly spurning
the principles and tranditions which millions of law-abiding citizens have
cherished for close to a century, members of the Congress have invited
open rebellion on the part of an immature and irresponsible element of
our society and have re-established mob rule and made it respectable in
an area of the Republic where reputable citizens have struggled long
and diligently to put it down.
They have unleashed powerful, dangerous and unpredictable emo~
tions and have turned loose on the South hordes of young potential
terrorists whose ancestors less than a hundred years ago were eating
each other in the jungles of Africa.
They have stripped away Constitutional safeguards from private
property, disavowed the inalienable right of choice and given impetus
to the conception that might makes right when young hoodlums band
together to take over a business establishment or force it to close.
They have lighted a fuse which has kindled smoldering fires of
hatred between the races and have undone the work of a generation of
calm and level-headed citizens who_ had stamped out the Ku Klux Klan
and have caused the fiery cross to blaze forth again all over the South.

Millions of Americans Think It-The Southern Conservative Says It
Page 2 THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE APRIL, 1960
Example of What Connally Amendment
Means To Our National Security
The Humphrey resolution for the repeal of the Connally amendment
in the World Court matter is out of the way temporarily, this resolu­tion
having been killed by the Foreign Relations Committee of the
Senate. That does not mean that die-hard One-Worlders won't bring
it back but at least for the present session of Congress it is dead.
Meantime an action by the United Nations gives some idea of
how the World Court would have probably performed in regard to
strictly "domestic problems'' of the United States if the Connally amend­ment
had been repealed and the Court given the right to decide what
was and what was not a "domestic problem."
The United Nations is the parent of the World Court and this is
the way they performed in the South African riot situation:
When 20,000 Negroes in South Africa ganged up on police and
officials were compelled to fire on the rioters to restore order, some
seventy Negroes were ki!led. ·
Immediately the United Nations, under the guidance of Dag Ham­marskiold,
whose behavior frequently inspires charges that he is rigidly
preJudiced toward the Communist side of any issue, proposed to open
an investigation into the whole South African affair. If those killed
had been white persons, of course there would have been no interfer­ence
on the part of the United Nations but they were Negroes, so the
fat was in the fire. Hammarskjold was determined that the investiga­tion
should take place.
Officials of the South African government, who are perfectly
capable of handling the situation if hot-headed fools from foreign coun­tries
will keep out of it, begged and pleaded with the United Nations to
lay off and let them handle the situation. They pointed out that it was
a strictly domestic situation and one in which they needed no outside
help or interference in solving.
But Mr. Hammarskiold had his neck bowed and so the United
Nations Security Council has voted to plunge immediately into the situa­tion
on the dark continent despite protests and warnings of the South
.African Government that this will only inflame the dangerous Situation
there.
And thus we have an obiect lesson in what might have been expected
of the World Court if the Connally amendment had been repealed and
something had come up which the United States government protested
was a "domestic problem" but which the World Court held to be "inter­national."
So, if the United Nations which is the parent of the World Court
could ride roughshod over South Africa and make its own decision
about what was a "domestic issue," is any one so stupid as to think
that its offsprinP", the World Court, would not perform in the same high­handed
manner?
From a member of the Missis­sippi
House of Representatives. and
who is a personal friend of ours:
The bumble bee is a rambling
old soul,
Who does not believe in birth
control,
This is the reason in days like
these,
Why Washington's so full of
sons of bees.
Mr. Tom Anderson, brilliant edi·
tor of Farm and Ranch magazine
at N:'cshville, Tennessee, writes us
from Spain to say that he is sched­uled
for an interview with Gener­alissimo
Franco soon. We are glad
to note that, since a responsible
American is going to interview a
dictator, at least he selected an
anti-Communist for the purpose.
Usually Americans seem to prefer
to talk to Khmshchev and other
Communists. They avoid Franco
and Tru iillo like the plague because
these two won't tolerate the
Soviets within their countries.
From a subscriber in Birming·
ham, Alabama: "In a social group
a few nights ago it was decided by
all but two present that you are
the most interesting writer on po­litical
subjects of anyone in the
United States and that the South­ern
Conservative is the best paper.
The two who did not agree had
never read it."
The recent Southeastern Metho­dist
Conference asked the General
Conference of the M e t h o d i s t
Church when it meets in Denver in
April to do away with old-time
Gospel Hymns such as "What A
Friend We Have In Jesus," "Blessed
Assurance" and other sacred songs.
"The Gospel Hymn is a victorian
development - sentimental and
good for nothing," said Bliss Wiant,
one of the Conference delegates.
Score another victory for the Reds!
Claremont College at Claremont,
California, wants it known that it
does not want any Federal gifts
and will not accept them. Clare·
mont, a private institution, wants
to preserve its independence and
its wise officials realize that Fed­eral
Aid means Federal Control.
In justice to the National Coun­cil
of Churches, it must be admitted
that while that group is under
heavy public censure at this time
for their pro-Communist position on
all public issues, the fact must be
admitted that they are not alone
in their guilt. Every facet of Amer­ican
life has been infiltrated by
Communists and especially all
those which represent any sort of
official or public activity. We stiii
believe that the majority of Ameri­can
citizens are sound but the dam­age
has been done to political, so­cial,
religious and educational ac­tion
groups which means the lead­ership
of this country.
STATE OF NEVADA BRINGS INCOME
TAX REPEAL ONE STEP HEARER
We were very happy to learn
t h a t the proposed twenty-third
amendment to the Constitution of
the United States has been ad­vanced
another step.
The State of Nevada recently
passed a concurrent resolution ask­ing
that the Congress submit this
amendment for ratification by the
necessary number of State legisla·
tures.
The principal section of the pro­posed
twenty-third amendment pro·
vides for repeal of the Sixteenth or
Income Tax amendment although
it also provides that the United
States shall discontinue engaging
in any business or industrial enter·
prise except as specified in the Con·
stitution.
Action by the Nevada lawmak­ing
body makes a total of three
States who have adopted this reso­lution
to date- Texas and Wyo­ming
being the other tw.o.
Since it r e q u i r e s thirty-four
States to force Congress to submit
this amendment, it may seem that
slow progress is being made.
However, it should be taken Into
consideration that it has taken
twenty-five years, or a quarter of
a century, for this great Republic
to be converted into a Socialist
Welfare State and it is not human ..
Iy possible to restore Constitutional
Government in a short period of
time.
It will be a long, weary and dis­couraging
fight because the Con ..
gress is thickly cluttered with ad·
died-brained liberals who have
been thoroughly sold on Marxism
as the ideal governing system and
they will fight the oroposed amend·
ment every foot of the way.
The resolution is now before the
Mississippi legislature and several
other State lawmaking bodies.
From a couple in Lancaster,
Pennsylvania: "The day your paper
arrives, we lock the doors, shut
off bells and no one can interrupt
until we have read your fine paper
through. Then we lend it to friends
who enjoy it as much as we do.n
Members of Congress (Con~;~:d ,from)
In brief, they have performed as Moscow ordained that they should
and hav~ worked up a frenzy of racial bitterness which could conceiv ..
ably get out of hand and bring bloodshed and death to innocent mem­bers
of both the white and colored race.
The battle over this Force Bill was not a case of the South
versus the North, nor segregationists against advocates of racial mon­grelization,
but a contest to decide whether ours is a government which
derives its just powers from the consent of the governed or whether it
is a ruthless centralized machine which rides roughshod over the Con·
stitution and the rights and freedoms of the vast majority of its con ..
stituent people.
And although deep-seated antagonism against the South motivated
sponsors of this infamous legislation, it was not a sectional matter
in that it would affect only one area of the country. It was rather an
action in which the interests of all those who revere Constitutional
Government were deeply involved for we can be sure that when the
rights of the people of the South are struck from the Constitution, those
of all other citizens from whatever section of the nation must inevitably
come tumbling down.
That is one of the immutable and immovable laws of nature over
which the Congress of the United States has no control.
The whole Civil . Rights program, conceived in the Kremlin and
executed by unprincipled American demagogues for the purpose of
influencing Negro votes, constitutes one of the most depraved legisla·
tive undertakings in the history of organized government. It indelibly
stamps its sponsors as utterly without responsibility, understanding or
integrity in their legislative intent and totally without respect for the
Consitution or the rights and freedoms guaranteed under its provisions
to the fearless white pioneers who built an empire on the American
continent.
. The only healthy symptom in the whole proceedings and the only
evid~nce that a spark of statesmanship still flickers in the highest law·
makmg body of a dying Republic was the fillibuster in the Senate when
~ small band of b?ld and intrepid Southerners lined up almost solidly
m behalf of the Rights of the States and were willing to go to almost
inhuman limits to defend them.
. . An? regardless of how the monstrosity known as the Civil Rights
bill IS fmally resolved, every American whether he recognizes it or not,
owes an eternal debt of gratitude to all members of the Senate from
the South-with the exception of those from Texas and Tennessee­for
so valiantly defending basic doctrines which the weak and vicious
among them were willing to cast aside.
Mea~ti~e. as they have fought and wrangled over this divisive
un-ConstitUtiOnal an? uncalled-for legislation, the Republic which they
~ere elected. a~d patd to preserve and uphold is steadily being sucked
mto the hornfymg maw of World Gommunism.
But if we expect our representatives in Washington to put up the
same dedicated, organized and coordinated fight to save us from the
Soviet mf'nace that they waged in their battle for the colored vote, we
are merely being naive and childish.
APRIL, 1960 THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE Page 3
Six Southern States May
Hold the Key to Survival
When a great nation has reached the crossroads and is imperiled
by either foreign or domestic enemies who would destroy it, fate often
intervenes and provides the men and the measures to save it.
There are those who believe that in the case of the American Re­public's
dire emergency brought about by twenty-five years of Marxist
administration of the Federal government, six Southern States may hold
the answer as to whether the plunge into a Communist-dominated One­World
government will be halted or expedited with the election in
November.
These Southern States are Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi and South Carolina. These combined States have 57 elec­toral
college votes and each State has a law on its statute books
which provides that these electors shall remain independent and shall
pledge their State's electoral vote to any candidate of their choice and
are not bound by the choice of their national party convention.
So far there is no outstanding American patriot suggested as the
possible nominee of either the Fair Dealers or the Modern Republicans
and the natural inference is that, unless a way out is provided, we face
another eight years of squandering the citizens' money and restricting
their rights and freedoms under the administration of one or the other
of the two National Socialists who will emerge as their respective party's
nominee at Los Angeles and Chicago.
After the Los Angeles convention, it is possible that these six
Southern States may hold a joint meeting and decide on collective action.
In the case of a close election, this could throw the nomination of
a candidate for President into the House of Representatives, where each
State would have one vote and one vote only. This would offset the
heavy influence of subversive groups in the North and East who are
now expected to be largely instrumental in naming the next President.
Regardless of who emerged as the victor from such an arrangement,
it would be an improvement over the present field of candidates not one
of whom is believed to have any disinterested and unselfish interest in
the welfare of the American Republic and any of whom would likely
be controlled robots of the invisible masters who have ruled the United
States and shaped its official policies for twenty five years.
It may well be that these six Southern States are being paged by
destiny and the earnest prayers of all good Americans will be that they
may measure up to the God-given opportunity to save the American
Republic, if and when it comes. -
OVER TWO HUNDRED GROUPS WORKING
FOR OVERTHROW OF OUR GOVERNMENT
If the American people had not
become shock-proof and could be
bowled over, a recent announce­ment
from the House Committee
on un-American Activities should
certainly do it.
There are in the United States
more than two hundred organiza­tions
which are engaged in a "pro­digious
campaign of political sub­version,"
the Committee revealed.
This means that this many organ­izations
are working to destroy the
Ameriean form of government and
this does not include the thousands
of individuals in high places and
low who are striving toward the
same end.
As a result of all this subversion
a climate of opinion has been cre­ated.
the Committee said, which is
against all laws designed to pro­tect
national security.
These findings were contained in
a 2300-page summary of subversion
and sabotage in a year-long inquiry.
And in spite of this incredible
evidence of domestic treason, noth­ing
is being done, no committee
appointed by the Administration to
look into the advance of Com­munism
here; the Supreme Court
has done nothing to mitigate its
earlier rulings favoring Communist
attempts to overthrow our govern­ment
and the Congress calmly goes
ahefld with Soviet-inspired meas­ures
designed to divide the Ameri­can
people and soften them up for
the take-over.
Perhaps it is well for their peace
of mind that the American people
have been brainwashed and put to
sleep. Otherwise there would be
revolution.
The Constitution merely pro­vides
that the Federal government
shall count the citizens of the
United States every ten years for
the sole purpose of deciding the
number of representatives in the
Congress which each State shall
have. If there is any provision
authorizing the census takers to
pry into intimate, personal affairs
of Americans, we could not find it.
According to an Associated Press
retease in March 30, President
Eisenhower actually believes that
the Soviets want a ban on nuclear
weapons and th<lt they would like
to stop the testing of these deadly
weapons. It is difficult to under­stand
how anyone who is able to
think at all could be so gullible
and naive.
A columnist reports this interest­ing
feature: "Lincoln's Gettysburg
Address had 267 words; the Ten
Commandments has 297 words; the
Declaration of Independence 300
words; a recent order of the Office
of Price Stabilization on the price
of cabbage had 26,911 words."
That's the Washington motto. all
right. Never let one word suffice
when a thousand can be used.
Only Cowards Will Shy Away
From Controversial Issues
We were told recently of a woman who said to a newly organized
patriotic group consisting of members of her own sex:
"Let us stand for something and not be against everything. Also,
we must avoid having anything to do with controversial matters."
Now those good ladies, if they heed her advice, are infiltrated before
they start and they had just as well disband for all the good they are
going to accomplish.
In the first place anything that is not controversial is not worth
discussing, and in the second place practically everything is controver­sial
today. One dare not express love of Home, of God and of Country
without running into controversy, although it would seem that these are
subjects on which everyone could agree.
In substantiation of this, we point to UNESCO which has distributed
literature all over the world whose purpose is to destroy the home as a
unit of society and cancel out the influence of parents on today's chil·
dren. Thus the home is controversial.
Also, one of the most diligent propaganda campaigns now being
carried on is to destroy the Christian religion and to minimize God as a
Supreme Being. Every day iliere are instances where powerful leaders
come out in favor of the gospel of Karl Marx as a substitute for the
Gospel of Jesus and the attempts to take Christ out of Christmas go on
with unabated force. Therefore, God becomes controversiaL
And 'anyone who expresses undiluted love for country and flag is
denounced as a narrow nationalist who puts his own country before the
new conception of One-World Government and Universal Brotherhood.
Accordingly, patriotism is controversial.
So if these sacred subjects have been made controversi;l what is
there left that can properly be called non-controversial?
The remarks of the lady referred to above made us reflect on our
own situation and started us wondering what would have happened to
our publication if we had skirted "controversial" subjects in our editorial
discussion.
We are inordinately proud of the fact that we started a
~~~~~~h t~;e~o~~n ub:~~~ p~~~~d~ ~h~i~io:;yw h~~~n~~as ~orr,_~~=~~~-_,.,
in every State in the Union and in several foreign countries; that our
editorials have been widely reproduced in publications including the
Congressional Record and that, as a result of our editorial boldness, we
were invited to appear before a committee of the United States Senate
to give our views on a proposed change in procedural policies of that
body.
Does anyone think for a minute that a publication such as the
Southern Conservative could have ever gotten anywhere if we had
adopted the weasel attitude that we must shy away from controversial
issues and say only those things that would please everybody?
We love controversy because we recognize that everything that is
fine and good in our American way of life has become controversial
because the nation's domestic and foreign enemies want to destroy those
things. Others want to preserve them. So they are controversiaL
We love to wade right in to controversy and the more controversial,
the better we like to tackle it.
IT IS NOT THE HORROR OF THE CRIME,
BUT COLOR OF SKIN, THAT COUNTS
Recently in Houston a group of
white hoodlums were charged with
having hung a Negro man upside
down to a tree after carving the
initials KKK on his chest. However,
the Negro was apparently not hurt
very much as he was able to ap­pear
almost immediately on tele­vision
and tell his story.
The incident reached clear over
to Europe and letters from abroad
poured into Houston deploring the
incident which was, of course, un­pardonable.
Also representatives in
Washington sent telegrams into
Houston expressing high indigna­tion
over the matter. Certain news­papers
treated it editorially as if it
were an international incident in­stead
of the work of an irrespon­sible
gang of young white juvenile
delinquents.
The amazing thing is the differ­ent
reaction to a tragedy which
happened in that same city of Hous­ton
only a short time previous to
the mussing up of the Negro man.
In that case five young black
criminals tortured, mutilated, mo­lested
and killed one poor little
helpless white boy and hid his body
in an abandoned building.
When the poor little broken body
of the white child was recovered
it rated mention in the Houston lo­cal
press and in State papers. But
there was no reaction from the
outraged people of Europe and no
represent'atives in Washington sent
indignant wires demanding sum­mary
punishment for the beastly
perpetrators of one of the most re­volting
crimes of the age.
There could not possibly be but
one moral in the two cases and that
is that the pro-Communist poli­ticians
of the United States and of
the world have gone so far over­board
for propaganda advocating
racial advantages for Negroes that
the proposition has backfired and
the interest and welfare of the black
man is now held paramount and
even the lives of members of the
white race are considered of no
value.

THE TENTH AMENDMENT TO
THE CONSTITUTION OF
THE UNITED STATES:
AlABAMA GENTLEMAN MAY
HAVE FOUND THE ANSWER
An anonymous writer in the
Montgomery, Alabama, Advertiser
for March 9 undertakes an explana­tion
of Paul Butler's bitter anta­p-
onic:m toward the people of the
South.
"Is it possible," he asks, "that
Democratic National Committee
Chairman Paul Butler is a relative
of General 'Beast' Butler who was
no!orious for his harsh and brutal
trea> ment of the white people of
New Orleans after its capture by
thf> Yan!.o:ees?
''One reaction to this cruel treat­ment
so enraged General Butler
that it is quite probable that his
resentment could have lasted into
the third or fourth generation of
his descendants.
"That reaction caused an enter­pric;
ing New Orleans manufacturer
of porcelain ware to make and sell
to all the white people of the
city certain recery•acles sometimes
face: iously called 'White Owls.' In­sid0
the bottom of these receptacles
was enPraved a crude picture of
GePeral Butler. In the event any
one is interested, a specimen of
tl1is receptacle can be seen in the
De,artment of Archives and His­tory
at the Alabama State CapitoL
"lt is quite natural for a South­erner
to wonder if this excruciat­ingl.
v funny and deeply humiliating
trea>ment of General Butler's face
caused resentment so strong that
it has been inherited by the modern
Butler and account for his hatred
of white Southerners.
"T am now in my dotage and since
I'm too old to fight and too weak
to run, I ask that my name not be
published."
THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE
Air Force Manual About National Council
Of Churches Did Not Tell Half the Story
We hope that many of the "38 million members" which the National
Council of Churches claims to have on its roster, listened to the broad­casts
of Fulton Lewis, Jr. on March 23rd and ensuing days. If they did,
they realize by now that the charges in the Air Force Manual concern­ing
Communist infiltration of the Council was really a compliment in
comparison to some of the other activities of that so-called religious
group.
Mr. Lewis read from a pamphlet put out by the Department of Racial
and Cultural Relations df the National Council of Churches titled The
Negro American and which listed books as recommended reading by all
those interested in race relations, including children. The pamphlet was
by one Edith Hussey, and among the books which this brochure listed
for recommended reading were three titled "The Walls Came Tumbling
Down," "Color Blind" and "Without Magnolias."
We have been in possession of the file giving excerpts and passages
from these books for several years. It was sent to us by a person who
had special permission to transmit it through the mails. Otherwise, be­cause
of the filthy and lewd lati.guage employed, the sender would have
been liable to a ten-thousand-dollar fine and a prison term, under postal
laws.
This language is so vulgar, obscene and incredibly vile that it
would cause a water-front roustabout to blush to the roots of his hair
and we are still unable to understand how the National Council of
Churches, even though it is alleged to be infiltrated with Communism,
could have permitted this lecherous sex stuff to be listed as recommend­ed
reading by one of its departments.
We wrote several editorials on the subject several years ago when
these same lewd and lascivious volumes were found on the shelves
in the public schools in Marin County, California. We did not say in
these editorials, however, that they were 'recommended' reading by
the National Council of Churches because we did not know it at the
time and only learned it from Mr. Lewis' broadcasts.
. When they were found in the California schools, outraged parents
tned to get them removed but the National Education Association step­ped
i~ and ?efended the filthy and unspeakable books and they were
kept 111 the hbrary. So far as we know, they are still there.
Propagandists for World Communism have repeatedly proclaimed
that the debasement of the minds of the young was imperative in order
to provide a fertile field for the spread of Communism and if this latest
attempt in th_at direction is brushed off by a few Bishops in the National
Council and 1gnored by the Council's "38 million members," all patriots
had as well fold up and quit fighting Communism because the battle will
have already been won.
We will guarantee that if the decent Americans whose churches have
b~en taken into the National Council could read passages from these
v1le books, the Council would not have 38 members much less "38 mil­lion."
CITY OF THE ALAMO
SURR~NDERS WITHOUT
THE FIRING OF A SHOT
A great many people have ex~
pressed surprise that the merchants
of San Antonio cowardly surrender­ed
to the young Negro rioters who
invaded their stores recently, and
hastily threw up the white flag.
They promised that hereafter
they would remove all stools from
their lunch counters and serve all
comers, black, white. or mulatto.
This should occasion no surprise
for San Antonio has long been
known as one of the Reddest towns
in the South and it perhaps has
more left-wingers per square inch
than any other city of comparable
size in the country.
In addition, much of the church
leadership there is of the same hue.
There is one notorious Bishop of
a certain denomination in that area
who has been ral)ting and raving on
the hustings for years and mouth­ing
the doctrines of Karl Marx
which of course includes primarily
the social mixing of the races.
San Antonio was whipped before
it started and the prayers of all
good oeople should go out for the
minority of good patriotic Ameri­cans
there who were helpless to
do anything to prevent the capitu­lation
of private business interests
to rabble-rousing hoodlums of both
colors.
Like all Communist victories, this
one was achieved without the firing
of a shot.
Another "Right" Which One
One-Worlder Would Abolish
Pronouncements of One-World
psychiatrists, who are regarded in
many circles as a greater menace
even than Communism itself, have
largely lost their power to any
longer shock the people, but one of
the breed from Yale University did
so recently.
La~re~:ein~~r~~~e i~f D~~~s, u~f~
versity's School of Medicine ques­tioned
the "right" of the American
~eople to have children except in
hm1ted numbers. He said he could
foresee the day when physicians
would have to take a hand to "in­terrupt"
this process of nature
which has heretofore been taken
for granted as a "right" which was
somewhat removed from the auth­ority
of ordinary regulating bodies.
The increasing population of the
world and our inability to feed and
car~ for. fore~gners would probably
be 1mpa1red 1f our own population
continues to increase and this was
no doubt the underlying cause of
Dr. Kubie's distress over the situa­tion.
Closing the immigration bars to
all aliens as a protection to our own
population is a device which these
international do-gooders never rec·
om mend.

CHICKENS COME
HOME TO ROOST
Teenage vandals from an ele~
mentary school in a suburb of Fort
Worth were reported in the press
to be responsible for wrecking sev­eral
school rooms recently and tear­ing
an American Flag to shreds and
so mutilating it that the janitor had
to burn it.
These little ruffians have gotten
an early start but after all we must
remember that the American Flag
has had to undergo some humiliat­ing
experiences in this country Jn
recent years, such as having a
United Nations Flag flown above It
or alongside it, and having many
college students repudiate it by re­fusing
to take an oath of loyalty
to their country.
Lewd and obscene phrases were
also reported to have been scrib­bled
all over the school room walls
by the juvenile raiders in the Fort
Worth school.
Well, there is a precedent for
that, too. Many of the best selling
books of fiction which publishers
are currently turning out have vile
and filthy phrases and the more
obscene and lewd they are, the
more the public buys them, to say
nothing of motion pictures which
specialize in filth and which adults
attend by the millions.
Children are natural imitators
and before juvenile delinquency can
be effectively handled, adult de­lniquents
must fii-st be dealt with.
Wa hingto , • • e s The
Country In Venereal Disease
Dr. J~hn R. Pate, health official
of the District of Columbia, made
a startling report to a meeting of
the District's social Hygiene So­ciety
recently, according to the
Washington Daily News of March
25.
Dr. Pate said that the rate of
venereal disease in Washington was
~igher than in any other large city
m the country and is three times
as high as the second place city in
the nation, and that the disease had
~~~~~d steadily in Washington since
The most alarming feature of his
report was that there had been a
"spectacular" rise of venereal dis­ease
among teenagers and children
of an even lower age.
This result was, of course, antici­pated
by informed persons who re­alized
that the spread of venereal
disease would be one of the con­comitants
of integrated schools in
the city which was "going to be an
example to the whole country," but
even they did not figure that there
would be 1136 cases to each 100 000
of the population as Dr. Pate' re­ports.
It was also pointed out that not
one in six of these cases are report·
ed and treated and so the overall
figures are much more alarming.
Most Negroes tend to ignore the
situati~:m and among a large num­ber
th1s type of disease is regarded
as little more serious than a com­mon
cold.
From a subscriber in Kansas City:
"! marvel at your power of expres­s_
JOn. Your sentences pop and crack
hke a whip and hit the mark. Your
prose is poetry. I lack words to
express my admiration for the
'Southern Conservative'."
APRIL, 1960 THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE Poge 5
ARIZONA SENATOR SUGGESTS WITHDRAWAL If There's One Thing We Don't Need, It
OF RECOGNITION OF SOVIET RUSSIA Is More Aliens in the United States
One of the few practical, sane and common sense suggestions to
come out of Washington recently was made by United . States Senator
Barry Goldwater of Arizona.
The Arizona senator, chairman of the Republican senatorial cam­paign
committee, warned that the first step in "containing Communism"
and raising the temperature of the cold war would be withdrawal of
United States diplomatic recognition from the Soviet government head­ed
by one Nikita S. Khrushchev.
He expressed the firm conviction that "our entire approach to
the cold war would change for the better the moment we announced
that the United States does not regard Khrushchev's murderous clique
as the legitimate ruler of the Russian people or of any other people."
He added that "Not only would withdrawal of recognition stiffen
the American people's attitude toward Communism, it would also give
heart to the enslaved peoples and help them overthrow their captors."
Goldwater said that his remarks were intended to impress President
Eisenhower that there is strong and growing sentiment throughout this
country against constant compromises with the Soviets. He feels that
we, not the Communists, should set the terms in any negotiations so
long as we insist on "negotiating" with Russians.
He points out that under the plan he suggests that "We, not they,
would select the time and place for a test of wills. We, not they, would
have the opportunity to bring maximum strength to bear on that test.
They, not we, would have to decide between fi ghting for limi ted obje c ~
tives under unfavorable circumstances or backing down."
He called for continued testing of nuclear weapons and cautioned
against negotiations with the Soviets in these words:
"The next time we are urged to rush to the conference table in
order to relax 'world tensions' let our reaction be determined by this
simple fact: the only 'tensions' that exist between East and West have
been created, and deliberately so, by the Communists."
There was no report on the reaction to Senator Goldwater's sug­gestion
on the part of that segment of our national leadership which
shudders and shakes when Khrushchev frowns, but it is certain to come
as cold water to a parched desert in the case of millions of Americans
who are fed up with the policy of kowtowing, appeasin g and conci li a t~
ing the Soviet assassin which has been followed so long that it has worn
American patience thin.
NOTED WRITER SAYS THE PRESIDENT IS
CARRYING CHAMBERLAIN'S UMBRELLA
Any one who can secure a front
page tear sheet of the Arizona Re~
public. Phoenix, Arizona, for Thurs­day,
March 24, 1960, will be richly
rewarded with the privilege of read~
jng an editorial from Clarence Burl­ington
Kelland.
In this editorial, Mr. Kelland tears
to shreds our wavering and timid
and fear-ridden foreign policy
which has caused even the most in­significant
nations to feel they can
insult us with impunity and which
has resulted in a loss of respect
for the American Flag all over the
world.
Mr. Kelland tells of Theodore
Roosevelt who "when United
States citizen Predicaris was kid­napped
by African tribesmen, sent
the curt message 'Perdicaris alive
or Rasouli dead'." ..
"Never from the birth of this na­tion
until the oresent day have we
failed promotly and emphatically
to counter insult or disrespect or
flouting of our national honor with
swift and efficient action" ... Mr.
Kelland points out.
It has been hushed up but the
incidents in the Finch jury trial
room at Los Angeles are probably
Without precedent in the history
of administration of justice. Far
from acting like an orderly group
deliberating on a life and death
issue, thev are said to have acted
more like ·law violators themselves.
The misbehavior is attributed to the
fact that a racially mixed group
was locked up in close quarters
for an extended length of time.
"Apparently Mr. Eisenhower has
borrowed Chamberlain's umbrella.
Chamberlain carried it only to Mu~
nich. President Eisenhower has to­ted
it to the remotest corners of
the world," Mr. Kelland says and
adds:
"Once upon a time we had a Pres­ident
named Monroe. He was not
a great President but he was a Pres­ident
with self-respect and a deep
appreciation of the dignity of his
country. He had scant army and
Jess navy but he had what this ad~
ministration lacks - the fortitude
to face up to a hostile world and
declare himself.''
The editorial is too long for re­production
here but every Ameri­can
should read it for an under­standing
of the timidity and cow­ardice
inherent in our foreign poli­cies
today and which have given
even the upstart nations of the
world such as Cuba the idea that
the United States can be abuse:d
and insulted with no fear of retalia­tion
Mr. Kelland's editorial also ap­peared
in the Indianapolis, Indiana,
News on March 26 and perhaps in
other leading papers of the nation.
There could not be but one rea­son
why the heads of certain col­leges
objected to the loyalty oath
being taken by students asking for
government loans and that is be­cause
thev, themselves, could not
conscientiOusly take such an oath.
There could not possibly be any
other explanation for an American
citizen's refusal to declare his loy~
alty to his country.
It is estimated by various author­ities
that there are between four
and five million illegal aliens in the
United States today.
It has been suggested that when
the census takers in April started
their prying and probing into the
private lives of the American peo­ple
under the guise of counting
noses for the census, these illegal
aliens could have been exposed for
prosecution and deportation. Sure­ly
if there is any possible chance of
turning them up census snoopers
who are authorized to ask all sorts
of questions could have done it.
But the President apparently had
another idea on the subject.
While, so far as is known, he has
made no comment on illegal aliens
already here and no effort to dis­lodge
them is under way, he has
made recommendation that more
than 300,000 more aliens be per~
mitted to come here each year and
has asked Congress to revise the
immigration quotas accordingly.
Since these aliens would not be
able to qualify as voters in the next
election, we were at a loss to un~
derstand why the President was
Supreme Court Adviser
Stamped As Instrument
Of The Communists
Gunnar Myrdal. of Sweden, it
will be remembered was one of the
sources of inspiration to Earl War­ren's
Supreme Court in the segre­gation
decision of 1954. Even those
who tolerate integration felt that
Warren's adherence to a foreigner's
ideals in handing down a ruling
affecting many people of the United
States was injudicious and in bad
taste, even though they did not
know of Myrdal's personal back~
ground.
A report issued by the Commit­tee
of the Judiciary, dated Febru­ary-
March 1958 titled "Limitation
of Appellate Jurisdiction of the
United States Supreme Court,"
page 1079. frankly refers to Myrdal
as "Swedish Communist, Gunnar
Myrdahl" and says:
"As a conscious and effective in­strument
of the Communist global
conquest, less subtle than Krishna
Mennon of India but more able
than Ludwi~ Rajchman of Poland,
this same Gunnar Mvrdal is so im­portant
to Moscow that the Soviet
made his aopointment as executive
secretary to the United Nations
Economic Mission for Europe a con­dition
of Kremlin participation."
And this is the same Gunnar
Myrdal who influences rulings of
this nation's highest court. thereby
causing the Con~ress of the United
States to legislate in accordance
thereto and Soverei~n States of the
Union to change the operation of
their schools and lay aside tradi­tions
of almost a century.
Is this evidence of Communist
domination of American policies of
government or is it?
Here's something to cheer tax~
weary citizens of the United States:
A United Press International dis~
patch from Hong Kong, says that
the America·n government is spend­ing
nearly $1,000 per hour on refu­gees
there, or $7,200,000 per year.
This is authorized under Public Law
480 and we'll bet that not one
pressing so hard for their admit­tance.
However, it was explained to us
that it is highly organized groups
in this country who do have heavy
voting strength who are putting the
pressure on the President to muti·
late our immigration laws and Jet
these foreigners come in.
We understood, of course, that
there was some impelling motive
for his request for this legislation
and we are glad to know what it is.
There is every argument on earth
why they should not be admitted
including the unemployment sit­uation
in the United States which
is claimed to be far more serious
than official figures indicate - this
being election year -but the over­powering
reason why they should
be kept out is because we have
more subversives on hand now than
we can handle, both imported and
domestic.
Encouraging information from
Washington is that Congress wil1
not likely grant the President's re­quest
but of course he will be given
credit for having tried and prob­~
bly that will serve the purpose
JUSt as well.
Sout~l!rn Schools Kick Out
Two Racial Agitators
Two bad trouble makers were
disposed of by Southern schools

an effort to curb the racial law­lessness
which has spread alJ over
the nation.
At Memphis, Tennessee, follow­ing
vigorous complaints by law­abiding
citizens, James Lawson, a
Neero Divinity student, wac; ex~
pelled bv the management of Van­derbilt
University.
It was charged that not only was
Lawson one of the instieator<; of
the sit-in plots but that the Uni­versity
was violating Tennessee
Jaw by allowing a Negro stun~nt
in a white private educational in­stitution.
Accordingly Chancellor Harvie
Branscomb of Vanderbilt gave the
following notice to the Negro stu­dent:
"Your strong commitment to
a planned campaign of civil dis­obedience,
as expressed in your
signed statement of today, compels
the Executive Committee of the
Board of Trust to ask vou to with­draw
from the University."
At Marshall. Texas, where Negro
students had also been guilty of
the offense of entering white busi­ness
establishments for the ourpose
of comoelling merchants to inte­grate
their lunch rooms. a Dr.
Doxey Wilkerson. a professor of
education at Bishoo College in
Marshall, a Ne.ero school, wac; fired
after it was pointed out to officials
of the school that Wilkerson was a
former Communist Party member
and was openly svmpath.izing with
the lawless acts of students in that
city.
American in a thousand ever heard
of that law. We haven't. This "aid"
is in the form of food, clothes, and
spending money to help refugees
while they are getting settled in
per..manent residence. This has been
going on since 1954, according to
the UPI release.

American Wheat Commissar
Infuriates Montana Citizen
The above picture does not rep·

United States.
It is, instead, a picture of the
members of a Wheat Committee
on a Russian collective farm who
are busHy engaged in deciding how
much grain Soviet slaves shall be
permitted to plant. Its chief rela­tion
to the American crop control
plan lies in the fact that the Rus­sian

ton bureaucrat could understand
and set some kind of a record for
pure, unadulterated and idiotic
double-talk. One paragraph is typi­cal:
"According to office records
the only history we have on this
tract is as follows: 19~6--73 acres
of durum- that year you were al~
lowed to seed 3 acres for each
acre of regular wheat allotment.
However, your history for that year
would be 73 divided by three which
equals 24. In 1957 there were 19
acres spring wheat seeded. Since
we use a four (4) year history as
basis we would add 24 minus 19 and
divide the answer by four (4) leav~
ing you a history of 10 acres-that
multiplied by the factor for 1960
which is .6906; this factor is ap~
plied to every operator's base, your
allotment for 1960 on your tract
would be 6.9 acres ... "
It's been a long time since this
distinguished Montana citizen got
out and personally wrestled with a
tractor, a planter or a sod-buster
and he didn't take kindly to the
idea of renewing personal contact
with the soil in order to get a meas~
ly allotment of fifteen acres of
wheat for one of his various farms.
His reply was of classic proportions
but not exactly suitable-for repro·
duction in a modest. timid and re ...

His wind-up, however, will bear
repetition: "Your answer of multi~

the whole farm program came right
from the horse's mouth in Moscow,

A report in Washington says that
Sherman Adams is not out of the

but has just gone be~

close to Milton Eisenhower, the
President's brother, whom many
consider the real power behind the
throne.
COLUMBIA EGGHEAD SUGGESTS OLD
FOLKS MAY BE SLIPPED A MICKEY FINN
The White House Conference on
Children and Youth has come and
gone and the next one is a White
House Conference on the Aging. If
they don't call one on babies and
the middle-aged, it might be inter­preted
as discrimination against
certain age groups and we can't
have that.
We are always suspicious of any
White House Conference and we
have now become downright skit~
tish about this Conference on the
Aging.
There"s always a catch to all of
them and a very strange "nigger
in the woodpile" has come crawl·
ing out of this Conference on the
aging of old boys and girls.
An egghead from Columbia Uni~
ver.Sity, Dr. Lee Simmons, revealed
what had heretofore been a top
secret and that is that "Mercy
Killings" may be one of the sub·
jects listed for discussion of what to
do with those of advanced years.
"It is possible that the dynamics
of 'population explosion' will even~
tually call for a balancing of birth
control with 'ageeontrol'," Dr. Sim~
mons explained and added: "If so,
what feasible forms may such pro·
posals take? What are their limi·
tations?''
When interviewed by a curious
newspaper man on the subject Dr.
Simmons readily admitted that 'age
control' meant mercy killing and
said !hat the term denoted such
pleasant anticipations as "s ane ~
tioned suicides, mercy killings and
the withholding of life-continuing
medical atten~ion to helpless In ex·
treme cases." He said he was mere~
ly offering a suggestion that the
White House Conference include
this as a possible subject of dis·
cuss ion.
Robert W. Kean, chairman of the
National Advisory Committee for
the White House Conference went
up in the air at Dr. Simmons' sug·
gestion and made the under·
statement of the century when he
said: "It is not a fit subject for
such conference. It doesn't sound
like anything nice."
Whether they do or do not de­cide
to include "mercy killings" on
the Conference agenda, the mere
suggestion may likely have a damp~
ening effect on the proposed con~
clave for not many old folks are
going to like even the remote pos~
sibility of a set-up in the future
where some officious government
agent can quietly decide their des·
tiny by slipping them a permanent
Mickey Finn.
Even the Eskimos have aban~
doned a similar solution to old age
and no longer haul their old people
off and leave them to die on the ice
floes after they can no longer work.
Of course we are old~fashioned
and out of date but our suggestion
is that the natural common sense
solution of the subject is for the
Government to shut up and let the
"problem" handle itself as it has
since the beginnihg of civilization.
Throughout history people have
been born, lived their lives out and
died without Federal Aid and we
imagine they could do it again if
given a chance.
DIRKSEN .THINKS BOMB THROWING IS
SOLE RIGHT OF LABOR UNION GOONS
Senator Everett M. Dirksen of
Illinois regards it as a horrible
crime against society for any one in
the South to throw a bomb into a
church, a synagogue or a school
and he is exactly right in that con­clusion.
No responsible person will
argue the point.
But Senator Dirksen thinks it is
quite all right for a labor union
goon to toss a bomb into an indus~
trial plant or a private residence.
We offer as proof of the senator's
position the record of his vote
which appears on page 5019 of the
Congressional Record of March 14.
Before the Senate was an amend·
ment to the so-called Civil Rights
bill which would have made the
penalties for the throwing of bombs
apply to all persons alike and not
just restrict such punishment to a
certain group in the South.
Eighty-five members of the Sen­ate
out of the eighty~six present
voted for this amendment. Only
Dir}<:sen voted against It, thereby
putting himself on record as being
opposed to some persons tossing
bombs while being in favor of oth~
ers hurling these deadly weapons.
Of course labor union bomb
throwers are organized and repre~
sent a large block of votes while
those in the South who occasional~
ly are taunted into giving expres~
sion to this low type of vengeance
are on the ragged edge of society
and not only have no influence but
are held in contempt by the decent
citizenship of the South. Certainly
they do not have any voting power,
for those who have committed this
crime in the South can almost be
counted on one hand white bomb~
ings by labor union goons in the
North and East are numbered in
the hundreds.
It is a depressing thought to con~
template a member of the United
States Senate holding out for the
nght of one class of citizens to
throw death-dealing bombs while
denying: this same right to another
class. hut there is the record and
it speaks for itself.
Senator Dirksen commanded
great admiration from the people
of the South back in 1952 when. at
the Chicago Reoublican convention,
he put Tom Dewey in his place
and fought valiantlv for the nom­ination
of Senator Robert A. Taft
as President of the United States.
But since that time, like many
others, he has been put through
the Modern Republican wringer and
has had all conviction, courage and
independence squashed out of hjm.
With a brass ring in his nose he is
now ted around like any other
docile political puppet of the White
House.

APRIL, 1960 THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIV& Pogo 7
Be Sure and Tell Census Man the Truth
Or Mr. Dag Hammerskjold Will Get You!
The American people have been shocked at the amazing personal
questions to be propounded to them by those who are taking the Federal
Census this month, but they at least thought it was a project of the
American government and were assured that the information revealed
therein would be kept .. confidential."
It now develops that both these conclusions are false, that the
whole procedure Is another long step toward One-World government
and that the project is under the auspices of the United Nations.
Our source of information is the New York Times, Sunday, Feb­ruary
14, 1960 which tells us that "the world is falling into a pattern
of coincident censuses". and that the "United Nations has taken over
the project for all regions."
The following press release from the Americanism Committee of
Post 46, American Legion at Tarpon Springs, Florida,, tells how this
"confidential" information including date of birth, address, sex, color,
race, holdings, plumbing equipment and other "cozy sides of your life"
will eventually be laid on the line at the United Nations for all the
world to take a peek:
Remember the old slang expression, "I've got your number''? It
smacked playfully of friendly blackmail. It suggested that the one saying
it had stuck his nose into your private affairs. And however charming­ly
it was said, it still Irked a bit.
WeB, come April, masses of Americans are going to be irked on a
large scale. The UN is going to have not only your number but the
number of bathtubs in your house, the number of cars in your garage,
what value you place on your property, if you rent, how much rent you
pay. They will ask your name, date of birth, address, sex, color, race
special status, positions, etc. Census-takers will call and collect this
private information from over 55 million homes. At every fourth house,
they will leave an additional questionnaire to be filled out and mailed.
This one really gets down to the cozy side of your life.
What is behind this un-Constitutional demand that private and
personal information be given over for public use? The population­yes,
numbers of male and female, and population by states, but not
personal data to be placed on file at the UN open to aliens including
Soviet Russia. Is this planned regimentation?
In the New York Times of Feb. 14, 1960, there is an article by
Richard E. Mooney titled "World Is Getting Census Habit." To quote:
"The United States isn't the only country taking a census this year.
Approximately seventy-five others are ... This flurry of census-taking
is part of the 1960 World Census Program, a United Nations UNDER­TAKING
that began in 1955 and will end in 1964 . . . Western Hemis­phere
countries have co-ordinated their census-through the Organi·
zation of American States for more than a decade. More recently the
United Nations has TAKEN OVER the project for all regions."
If, like a healthy American, you object to having your private
affairs spread out on an IBM card at the UN for all the world to see,
you have the un-American, un-Constitutional, unhappy alternative of
going to jail. This is something to write your Congressman about and
fast. But stand by-there is more news from Mr. Mooney:
"The UN's work is being augmented by bilateral technical assistance
in which the United States is the leader." (dope) "The Census Bureau
has been training other countries' census-takers for 14 years in its
Office of International Statistical Programs." In plain English that says
that the U.S. taxpayers have been paying for 14 years for the training
of the UN's world-wide census-takers.
What a Spill-the-Beans age we are living in!-prying psychological
questionnaires for school children, proposed psychological question·
naires for car-drivers; income tax questionnaires, industrial question­naires,
old age questionnaires, and now, a "Peek-a-Boo" census!
TAXPAYERS SHOULD GIVE CONGRESS
THEIR VIEWS ON A VITAL MATTER
A good patriot in Tennessee sug­gests,
in connection with our lead
editorial in the March edition of
Southern Conservative, that inter­ested
citizens should write their
representatives in Washington ask~
ing them to adjourn Congress and
go home until after the election in
November.
The theory is that if this were
done, not only would billions of
dollars be saved American taxpay­ers
but our Constitutional rights
and freedoms might be preserved
Most politicians live under a
double standard of honesty. In pri·
vate life they wouldn't dream of
touching a dime in another man's
pocketbook but in Congress or the
Legislature they will loot the pub·
lie purse without batting an eye.
from further assaults by politicians
who are offering fantastic legisla·
tive proposals in their frantic at ..
tempts to capture votes in the Pres­idential
race.
With the election out of the way
this insane scramble for votes of
minority groups would automatic­ally
end and the threat to .Consti­tutional
Government be appreci­ably
lessened.
Since it is advisable and whole·
some for taxpayers to keep in con­stant
communication with their
representatives, we suggest they
write their congressman and their
two senators and give them their
ideas on the subject.
Now we are promised uscented"
television programs. Heavens, the
others were "smelly" enough.
AS WAS TO BE EXPECTED, THE YOUTH
CONFERENCE WAS A FIZZLE AND A FLOP
The recent White House Confer­ence
on Children and Youth turn­ed
out as might have been ex­pected
by any one who observes
such gatherings and notes who con­trols
them.
While more than a thousand res­olutions
are said to have been in~
troduced, the affair was largely de­voted
to racial integration propa­ganda
and Federal Aid to Educa­tion,
two of the programs high on
the ageoda of the National Educa­tion
Association whose representa·
tives were so thickly interspersed
among the delegates as to give the
appearance of having crawled out
of the woodwork.
Extreme left-wing thinking, of
course, dominated the proceedings
and the supposed objective of the
Conference - to inspire the youth
of the land to higher ideals and re­duce
juvenile delinquencY - was
apparently lost in the shuffle.
The usual number of unmarried
or childless social welfare work­ers
whose interest in youth is aca-demic
and professional were on
hand to tell how the job of raising
children should be done.
In the President's opening speech
to the gathering he indirectly made
his inevitable pitch for One-World
Government when he said that all
"the peoples of the world must
learn to live together" and asserted
th ~t the rising generation is "more
internationally-minded and more
diplomatically skillful" than the
present one.
The Conference was also address~
ed by Roswell P. Barnes, formerly
secretary to the old Federal Coun­cil
of Churches, which is now the
National Council of Churches, and
whose Communist front record has
been publicized many times.
Thinking back over the years, It
is remarkable how those of us of
another generation were brought up
without benefit of Youth Confer­ences,
Resolutions and Social Wel­fare
Workers.
Perhaps, like Topsy, we just"
"growed."
State Department Is Off To South Africa
Not content with unfailing par­tiality
to Negroes of the United
States and with gearing the ma­chinery
of the Federal government
in the sole interest of the colored
race in this country, the Adminis­tration
has poked its long nose into
South Africa and has protested des­perate
efforts of white officials
there to cope with a violent upris­ing
by vicious blacks.
The State Department which last
month reached out to California
and postponed the execution of a
notorious sex pervert, has now ex­tended
its extra-curricular activi­ties
to faraway South Africa.
Just as is the case in this coun­try,
Communists are directing the
uprisings in the Dark Continent on
the part of Negroes against law
and order and when heavy m'obs
of savages assaulted white officers,
burned buildings and attacked cit­izens
with knives and stones, of·
ficials turned machine guns on them
killing 71 and wounding 182.
Whereupon a State Department
attache in Washington Douglas Dil­lon
went before the State Foreign
Relations Committee asking for
$20,000,000.00 to institute some
program or other in the South Af­rican
violence area "as a gesture
of good will." The ridiculous claim
was made that this country hopes
to "head off the Soviet exploita­tion
of African grievances."
Apparently the State Department
does not realize that it is just a
1ittle late in undertaking this wor­thy
mission and that they can't
"head off" the Soviets who have
After spending billions and bil­lions
of dollars for modern weapons
for our defense, can it be possible
that our representatives at Geneva
will promise to scuttle all these
arms and lay us vulnerable to a
take-over by the Soviets? No per­son
in his right mind thinks that
Russia will disarm no matter what
promises they may make. Surely
Providence will save us from any
such criminally insane action on the
part of those who speak for this
Republic.
been agitating in Africa for years.
If it hadn't been for the Soviets, In
fact, there would have been no up·
risings there. However, we imagine
that Mr. Dillon will get the $20,000,-
000 since the beneficiaries are Ne·
groes.
Another State Department offi­cial,
one Lincoln White, had this to
say, according to the press: "The
United States deolores violence in
all its forms and hopes that the Af.
rican people will be able to obtain
redress for their legitimate griev·
ances by peaceful means."
(Does Mr. White hope that South­ern
merchants whose stores have
been overrun with rioting Negro
saudents and who have lost thous·
ands of dollars by the disntption of
their legitimate business are able
"to obtain redress for their griev­ances"
or is that of no concern to
t)le State Department?)
Mr. White continued: "While the
United States as a matter of prac­tice
does not ordinarily comment
on the internal affairs of govern­ments
with which it enjoys normal
relations, it cannot help but regret
the tragic loss of life resulting from
the measures taken against the
demonstrators in South Africa."
Mr. White and the State Depart­ment
are not unique in regretting
the loss of life. Every normal hu·
man being regrets such tragedies
but the questions which naturally
arise in any thinking mind are:
"Would the State Department have
preferred that the blacks be allow­ed
to go ahead and murder the
white officials and private citizens
in their mad ramoage? Also, if those
who were killed had been white
p·ersons, would the State Depart­ment
have registered a protest?
The saddest day in the life of
any nation is the one on which its
citizens cease to think.
The least worried people on earth
are those who can only think what
stronger minds tell them to think.
They are like a pig in the sunshine
who is happy so long as it can
scratch its back on a log.

ONCE IS ENOUGH AND
TWICE IS TOO MUCH
The American people are taxed
heavily for the vast amount of
wordage that appears in the Con~
gressional Record each day during
a session of Congress.
Much of this material is undoubt~
edly valuable and should be pre­served
but most of it is compound~
ed of hot air, bombast and baloney
and nobody reads it except those di­rectly
involved.
We would not suggest that this
material is a waste of money which
could well be used to better advan­tage
but we do believe that when
a lon ~-winde d article is placed in
the Record once, that it is just
a slight imposition on the taxpay ..
ers to have this article duplicated in
the same edition of that document.
On Monday, March 28, the ultra
liberal Senator Clark of Pennsyl­vania
had placed in the Record, on
page A~2713, an article appearing
In the New York Times by William
Pro•or'~ire, Senator from Wisconsin.
The acticle defended the presi­dentio.
l orimary in various states
and while it was no better and no
worse than anything a man of Prox­mire's
views would be expected to
write, we do not believe it was so
outstanding that it should appear
in the record twice on the same
day.
Senator Proxmire was apparent­ly
taking no chance on his article
failing to aopear in the record and
so he too had it inserted on page
6219 also on March 28.
While this is oerhaps no crime,
it seems to us it is compounding
injustice against the taxpayer who
has to foot the bill for the printing
of the Record.
ProoManda To Soften

TH& SOUTHERN CONSERVATIV&
A FEW RIDICULOUS CENSUS QUESTIONS
AND SOME ANSWERS WE'D LIKE TO GIVE
While pondering the type of mind which figured out the forms
for the current global census which will not only provide informa~
tion for Congressional redistricting but presumably will supply
data on which the United Nations can base its estimate of potential
American subjects in the new One-World Government, we had
an idea. We decided to list a few of the inquiries propounded by
the Census Department and some imaginary replies which such
personal questions deserve:
NAME?
Willie Mae Wobbiebottom
ADDRESS?
711 Skidrow Alley, Squatter's Dump, Texas.
OCCUPATION?
Unemployed lady wrestler; take in washing on the side.
DATE OF BIRTH?
They didn't keep birth records then but I was born just after the
surrender of General Custer.
MARRIED?
Yes, but I lost my husband. He skipped out with a · strip tease
performer.
WIDOWED, DIVORCED, SEPARATED?
One question at a time, please.
HOW MANY ROOMS IN YOUR HOUSE?
Three rooms and a lean· to.
DOES MORE THAN ONE FAMILY LIVE IN THIS HOME?
Yes, six fa~ilies live here now but I'm running an ad in the paper
for another family so as to fill up the extra space and help me pay
my income tax.
IF "YES" DO THEY LIVE AND EAT WITH YOUR FAMILY?
No, but when I'm out delivering the washing, they sneak in and
rob my ice box so maybe this answer should be yes and no.
IS ANY ONE LEIT OUT OF SECTION A BECAUSE YOU WERE
NOT SURE WHETHER HE SHOULD BE LISTED - FOR EX·
AMPLE A NEW BABY IN THE HOSPITAL , , • ?
Thanks for reminding me. Come to think of it, the last time I caine
home from the hospital I forgot and left my twins In the delivery
room. I'll pick 'em up right away so go ahead and add two more
to your total count.
ALL PERSONS STAYING HERE WHO HAVE NO OTHER HOME?
A disabled bullfighter, two winos and a retired Fuller brush man.
MALE OR FEMALE?
Hermaphrodites.
LIST BELOW ALL PERSONS WHO WERE STAYING HERE
THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1960,
My aunt, uncle and eight children; a third cousin, once removed; my
nephew by marriage and his girl friend and five delegates to the
pipefitter's convention who couldn't get accommodations at thn
hotel.
WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP OF EACH PERSON TO THE
HEAD OF THIS HOUSEHOLD?
It's about half way between armed neutrality and peaceful co-exis ..
tence.
WHITE, NEGRO, AMERICAN INDIAN, JAPANESE, CHINESE,
FILIPINO, HAWAIIAN, PART HAWAIIAN, ALEUT, ESKIMO?
Most of them are a little bit of each. I refuse all tenants whose
blood is not mixed at least four ways because I don't want the
church leaders in Squatter's Dump to get the idea I'm against
Human Brotherhood.
DO YOU HAVE A KITCHEN OR COOKING EQUIPMENT?
No; we eat all our food raw. ·
IS THERE A BATHTUB OR SHOWER IN THIS BUILDING?
No. In the summer we take a bath in an irrigation ditch and in the
winter we don't need one.
IS THERE A FLUSH TOILET IN THIS HOUSE?
Yes, but the bums are not used to one and they forget to flush it.
IS THE HOUSE . . , OWNED OR BEING BOUGHT BY YOU?
No. I saw it was vacant and just moved in during the middle of
the night. I might have been evicted but the last tenant was a leper
and the Sheriff was afraid to come in and put me o.ut.
ABOUT HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK THIS PROPERTY WOULD
SELL FOR ON TODAY'S MARKET?
That depends. If I wanted to buy it, I would probably have to pay
around $800 for it but if a slick real estate promoter wanted it
for an Urban Renewal program, the city would condemn it and he
could get it for about $238.45.
APRIL, 1960
Cheap Foreign Labor
Putting Americans
Out of Business
Alarm is spreading all over the
country over the competition of im~
ported products with American
goods.
Because of cheap foreign labor,
manufacturers in other countries
are of course able to provide ar ..
ticles of commerce at much lower
prices than domestic manufactur ..
ers can produce.
Because we have less than no
leadership in Washington, our tax
and tariff Jaws are framed in the
interest of aliens rather than Amer ..
ican producers.
According to the National Review
"obsolescent machinery is an tm ..
portant factor in the situation. To
quote the Review: "Obsolescent
machinery Is the main devil In
many industries which are trying
to compete with European and
Asiatic manufacturers. Obsoles ..
cence is practically guaranteed by
the idiotic tax laws which keep
U.S. companies from plowing
money back into a constant reno ..
vation of plant. Almost every other
Industrial power In the world makes
it easy taxwise for manufacturers
to invest in the latest productive
equipment. In England there are
fast wrlte·offs; in Germany corpor ..
ations are relieyed of the profits
tax on money they re·invest in
plant. And nowhere else Jn the
world are investors penalized by
the high capital gains tax which
they have to pay in America."
This is because in this country
we are committed to the Socialist
pattern of government whose ob ..
jective Is to stifle Industry and to
discourage private enterprise in or ..
der that we may sooner perfect a
total Marxist State as a replace ..
. ment for a Constitutional Republic.
South African Officials
Will Handle Own Problems
As we go to press the stimulating
news comes that South African
government officials have an ..
nounced that they will handle the
racial situation there and that they
want no outside interference.
They asserted that they would
act swiftly against trouble-makers
wherever they are found or where·
e':er they come from, and that they
will not rest until these agitators
have been rooted out.
Further, the government an ..
nounced that it would give no
ground in the fight to maintain that
country's segregation laws.
We wish we could trade some of
the spineless characters who fill
positions of leadership in this coun­try
for some of the responsible and
determined men who are taking
care of the South African situation.
They are being aided in handling
the matter there by the fact that
they realized from the beginning of
the trouble that it was Communist ..
inspired and are acting accordingly.
This is a fact which many United
States leaders have never been able
to assimilate, or at least have ig­nored.
Rev. Billy Graham had hardly
landed in New York on his return
from Africa when he started sing­ing
the old Commie refrain: "I
refuse to address a segregated aud­ience."
